Blockbuster Zobel Prado show comes to Manila
The Philippine Star
|September 07, 2024
The blockbuster Prado show that had thrown a spotlight on a Philippine-born artist for the first time in Madrid since the glory days of Juan Luna is coming to Asia for the very first time at the Ayala Museum beginning Sept. 9.
Titled "Zobel: The Future of the Past," it attracted a record of 80,000 visitors in just four months at Spain's prestigious national museum. The modernist Fernando Zobel is only the second abstract painter ever to be honored in such a way in its august halls. The first was Pablo Picasso.
The exhibition's Spanish curators have journeyed to Manila to re-create that stunning Prado experience while adding other dimensions that are expected to thrill Zobel's Filipino enthusiasts.
